Registration is annual and courses last either one or two semesters, as indicated in the curriculum. Registering for a subject on a course entitles you to assessment within the same academic year of tuition.
How to calculate the registration fee
Each course has a different number of ECTS credits. Check the main webpage for this information. To calculate the price, multiply the total number of credits by the price per credit and add fees and insurance. The final price may vary, for example, depending on the payment method chosen or discounts you may be eligible for. Every academic year you pay only for what you enrol in (as stated on the registration form).
